This is hilarious. Researchers looking to do a study on the consumption of porn have a problem, they can’t find anyone who hasn’t looked at porn to use as their control group. Read more…

Recently I finished a web site for a friend of a friend. The project wasn’t too difficult, take his already made website and code it so he could use WordPress to edit the pages. Since my friend is also a designer and very knowledgeable about the web I left many of the pages with place a basic framework and place holder images so they could add more current information. Checking back to make sure the site was working OK as they are filling in new content I noticed a problem, the site is taking a long time to load the gallery. The culprit? Non-resized images used as thumbnails.

When I upgraded to OS X SnowLeopard on my Mac’s one important, frequently used piece of software died a tragic death, Growl.

For the uninitiated Growl is a notification service. Say you’re humming along in photoshop and illustrator working on a design for a client then the little Adium (another great app for the Mac) duck starts bouncing furiously. No need to interrupt your work flow. Just look in the upper corner of your screen. There Growl has caught the incoming message and is showing it in a unobtrusive window. After about a few seconds the notification window fades and your workflow hasn’t been interrupted.

• : NetNewsWire 3.2 for Mac only $10 http://bit.ly/2OH9xY #

Yeah, ok. I bought a serial for NetNewsWire 3.2 even thought I’d previously purchased NetNewsWire. I’m a little miffed that the original pricing was for “lifetime upgrades” but $10 bucks if a fair price and expecting to get the amount of work they put into the new version for free seemed a little asinine. Brent has put a lot of effort into this new release and totally deserves some reward for it. After all, NetNewsWire is the only program I use every day other than Mail.

If you’re a Mac user and interested in a good RSS feed reader that has a very intuitive interface, lots of great features and has been a staple on the Mac since 10.1 then NetNewsWire is for you. You can get a free download at http://www.newsgator.com/individuals/netnewswire/default.aspx.

If you wish to purchase NetNewsWire simply install the client then click the NetNewsWire in the menu bar and select “Buy NetNewsWire”.

So a little over a month ago on my birthday I was on my way back from a friends house when I was rear-ended at a stop light. Calmly I pulled to the side of the road and got out to survey the damage. It wasn’t too bad all things considered. My back bumper was twisted and bent down but the girl driving the other car had jerked the wheel at the last minute and hit me with a glancing blow.
